Responsibilities include managing your department, maintaining materials, planning improvements, and supporting daily operations. You will welcome and onboard new volunteers, encourage participation, and help build confidence and independence within the community. You will also attend meetings, assist with logistics, events, shopping and cleaning, create content for reports and social media, support coordinators when needed, and contribute ideas that strengthen and improve the project.
